Is there a HN Goodreads collection, or similar? Lots of lists like this (inc. my own: https://www.productgems.io/library/) but would love to see something centralised when in search of a new book to read (that's not a generic top 10).

Maybe if enough people like it, it'll get some activity. :)
Whenever I read a book thread on HN I end up adding most of the books to my reading list on goodreads. But a year later, I don't remember why I've added the book and all I have to go on is the Goodreads rating and goodreads comments.
These aren't that bad, but if the book has been on a HN book thread, I would much rather see a one sentence comment from HN that reads: "I loved this book, you should read it right now." Instead of any other comments from normal Goodreads users.
How else is it possible to even begin parsing a thread like this? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17980964
